what is now called Parksburg. saw
II alive and after 1t was killed; very
few thought Of trying to catch 1t. The
dogs would get after 1t but 1t could hold
the fort. All hands were afraid of 1t,
not fancy ing the cries of 1t In the even.
ipgs Many, like myself, kept close
house In the night, ~ lived less than
one fourth Of q mile from Its hiding
place. We did not like its sound or
music. 1t stayed about two months
with US. Finally one of our neighbors
went on the hill after pheasAnts which
were plenty In those days. His dog
got after the cat and ran 1T. It would
not run any distance just circle around
AS 1t passed him he opened fire on 1t
when 1t turned on,him. AS there were
very few double barrel guns In those
days. he was not prepared for the fight,
but he raised the but of his gun and
yelled with all his might. It went for
the dogs and had them nearly used up,
One OF our neighbors had an old bull.
dog, blind OF one eye, whenever he
would hear the hounds on the hill, he
would start for them ;he got there Just rs
the hounds were played out, and went to
work and stopped Its wind, to the Joy OF
the neighborhood. That man never
wanted TO see another wild cat.

THE EARTHQUAKE.
Two Hundred and Thirty OF the Victims
Buried In . Common Trench.

ROME, Feb. 27.-Heartrendins details
OF the disas ers caused by the earthquakes
continue to arrive. At Diano Marino to-
day child of twelve years of age and
her father were extricated from the de-
bris, when the father expiled upon the
spot. The survivors at Diano- Marino
say that majority of the victims were
killed by the second shock the people hay.
ing re-entered their houses to procure
clothing. The sum OF $500 has been
found in the ruins there. Bodies wrap
ped in shrouds lie in the middle of the
street.
At Bussana only church steeple re-
mains standing. The soldiers there are
still searching the ruins. They have res
cued twenty seven person, all of whom
are more or less injured.
The panic was renewed at Genoa to-
day on false report that Father Denza
had predicted another shock. Both there
and at Savona the people refuse to re-
turn to their houses. They sleep in car
riagts and improvised places of shelter.
Signor Genala, Minister OF Public Works,
has visited Bajardo and attended the
funeral OF $50 victims of the church
collapse, who were buried In a common
trench in the cemetery. He also made ar.
engagements for temporary hospital for
the injured.
Slight oscillations were felt to day at
Albenga and Porto Maurizlo. Relief
committees are being Organized through
out the country, but it is impossible to
supply the numerous wants. A bill will
be introduced In Parliament for a credit
of 81 900 900 for relief purposes.
Signori Denza and Bianchi, experts,
say that there need be be no further
fear. San Reno is deserted There were
303 persons killed and $50 injured in that
town.
